SignWriting List

Hello Sandy!
All people have frustrations with computer programs, so you are not the
only one!

I believe the problem you mention is related to the fact that the old
signs that you wrote with the old SignMaker, need to all be replaced
with signs written with the new SignMaker. It is not really a bug. It
is a transition - ha!

I will look at the problem and get back to you - Don't worry. This is
solvable...

Val ;-)
